Hello from deepest Dorset. England

[KrisW77]

Hi all thanks for adding me to the group.

 

I've just decided to get back into modelling after 20 years. I used to enjoy the hobby when I was younger and to be honest I just stuck bits of plastic together with finger marks everywhere and slap the paint on. Not the prettiest but I enjoyed it.

 

I've started off with the Tamiya Sherman Easy Eight and also bought some tools + paint. I've been using the Tamiya olive drab spray paint and so fair I quite like the results but along way to go yet!

Welcome! Nice to see a person coming back to the hobby. It's certainly helped me cope with recent times!

The sherman is starting to take shape nicely and I've already found things I'll do differently on the next model. I'm trying to remember that this is my first build as an adult and to treat it as abit of a pratice and not get to annoyed if it doesn't look perfect. I'm enjoying it though and have already bought an airbrush!

A belated welcome, also from Dorset!

 

Great that you are enjoying the hobby, and an airbrush purchase must mean you are serious!

That’s thing. I’ve found my approach to building models has completely changed in the short time since I joined. You’ll get lots of friendly advice when you ask for it (and sometimes when you don’t 😉!).
